"Barack can compromise without giving up his principles," says Dillard, who supports John McCain. "He's a realist and he knows when to fold his cards."专科

Obama stumbled badly, though, in 2000 when he challenged Rep. Bobby Rush, a former Black Panther member with deep roots in the community. Obama was dogged by the question raised by some pundits and black politicians -- whether he was "black enough" for the district.

Obama says there never has been any question about his being black. He addressed the race issue in his book, "The Audacity of Hope," describing slights and prejudices he has encountered. "I know what it's like to have people tell me I can't do something because of my color, and I know the bitter swill of swallowed-back anger," he wrote.

But in that congressional contest, Obama was seen as the outsider. Rush, the insider, crushed him in the primary.

Two years later, Obama eyed another office: U.S. Senate.

Valerie Jarrett, his friend, was leery, telling him: "'My gosh, you can't lose two races in a row. You'll be done in politics. He said, 'If it's OK with me, it should be OK with you. I'm not afraid of losing.'"

Obama won a crowded primary and quickly emerged as a rising star, impressing Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry, who tapped him for the keynote speech at the 2004 convention.

In 17 minutes, Obama jumped from obscure state lawmaker to a force in national politics.

That fall, Obama, prospering from some lucky breaks, won his U.S. Senate seat in a landslide. Almost immediately, talk began of a presidential run.

In 22 months on the campaign trail, Obama has walked a fine line, presenting himself to America as a fresh face and an outsider -- but with the knowledge and mettle needed for the White House.

He has rallied huge crowds with inspiring words and vows to bring change to the calcified ways of Washington, even as critics have tried to cast him as a celebrity whose oratorical sizzle conceals a thin resume.

But in a series of debates -- including three with McCain -- Obama proved adept and skilled at answering questions and offering proposals about health care, the financial bailout and Iraq, among other issues.

And his approach to dealing with the Wall Street meltdown earned a much ballyhooed endorsement from Colin Powell, the former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, who praised Obama's "steadiness ... (and) depth of knowledge."

Throughout his campaign, Obama has talked about defining moments -- from his victory in Iowa to the day five grueling months and 53 contests later when he won enough delegates to claim the Democratic nomination.

On that June night, he made history.

On Tuesday night, he'll find out if he can do it again.
